who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities,
that uh, it would be unacceptable. I don’t know if you could
use the word terrorist there.

17, 2008 God's Big Reputation
in Doubt at McCain Rally
At an October 11th McCain rally, Rev. Arnold Conrad called on his version
of God to get real and represent for the election. "I would also
pray Lord that your reputation is involved in all that happens
between
now
and November," Conrad said, "because there
are millions
of
people
around
this world praying
to their God — whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his [McCain’s]
opponent wins for a variety of reasons. And Lord I pray that you would guard
your
own reputation, because they’re
going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray
that you would step forward and honor your own name in all that happens between
now and Election Day. Oh Lord, we just commit this time to you, move among
us, make your presence very well felt as we are gathered here today in Jesus's
name
I pray."
